Group 7-day waking average?

Morning Folks

Reporting a reading of 8.2 for this morning

Splitting headaches and sore throat but hey ho it’s off to work I go
 
Morning folks. A 7.5 today. I was expecting that. Had a fab day walking yesterday in the sunny North East. 11 miles! BG had dropped into the low fours by the time I got home at 7, didn’t want to bolus too much so cut my ratio, and then over ate on the carbs as got nervous! Ah well, it’ll all come out in the wash today no doubt. Daughter home safe and sound from her Antipodian adventure. Will pop round to see her later, she had an early night last night! She’s not back to work until Monday, her poor hubby is back today! Off to get my hair cut and coloured this morning. I’ll be like a new woman. Have a good ‘un. 🙂

Good morning folks

5.4 for me too @Northerner, my sensor ends Sunday but I've 2 in due to replacement etc and I put an order in last friday incase mines is suffering delays, I'll find out tomorrow whether everything is there or not

Read up a bit on the BP meds I'll be starting and side effects can be sleep problems and nightmares, both of which I struggle with already AND losing strong feelings of a hypo! Maybe a good job I have the Libre then! :(

Have a nice day my lovelies

What have you been given @Kaylz? I started on ramipril, but had side-effects so was changed to candesartan and get no side-effects from that 🙂

From memory it began with P and ended in lol and with @SueEK's help she jogged my memory and I'm almost certain it's propranolol, the bit I read about it last night would indicate that one too lol xx
 
Morning all.🙂 3.8 here.

The builder was here all day yesterday AND he reckons he’ll be back today at 11. We’ll see.🙄

Hope the new meds don’t (side)affect you @Kaylz.

Ah, that's a beta-blocker then, a different type of medication to those I mentioned. I was put on a beta-blocker after diagnosis because of my suspected heart attack but I really didn't get on with it, chiefly because it limits your heart rate meaning I was unable to go running without getting tired very quickly (my heart wasn't pumping the blood round my body fast enough - normally heart rate goes up to 160-180 on a run!). There are alternatives, so do let your GP know if you don't get on with them 🙂
 
6.7 for me today, seem to be stuck in the 6s despite 2x500mg Metformin. Had blood test yesterday, will be interested to see if my HbA1c has gone up.
@Baz. Excellent result well done to you.
@Michael12421 thats a bit low, hope you can get things stabilised.
Have a good day all x

Weather's a lot milder than it has been recently - probably won't last. 🙄
Have a great day everyone.

Hello everyone

Had to seek help from Gp, as I was still in so much pain, after the fall. She prescribed Tramadol, which has helped immensely, but I am sleeping the clock round. I am such a wimp, not used to such strong meds. Now she is talking about physio. Next week a CT scan to check sinuses, I feel as though I am a walking wreck.

Anyway, 5.9 for me today

Take care everyone
 
6.1 this morning on my Nexus, but 7.8 on my new TEE2. Not sure which is the true reading, but think I will stay with the Nexus, it's better for my morale!
 
Yeah, I know it is a bit low but I am trying my best. After the Kowloon rice-fest I tried something else. An Italian Job - spaghetti with a sauce of sardines, tomatoes, rosemary and of course garlic. Didn't seem to do me much good. There was an awful lot of spaghetti, I could have knitted a net for a centre court doubles match. I was 5,2 before dinner and injected 4 units of \Novorapid and again I had 2 of my replacement JB's in the night. Trouble with these replacements is that they are so gelatinous, forget the toothbrush and toothpaste the next morning. I need a jack hammer and a sandblaster.
 
4.9
Had my lowest low carb day to date yesterday - this reading seems to suggest to me that I can have a few more carbs than I did as it didn't bring the BG down. I wasn't hungry and didn't intend on a Keto style day but it just worked out that way with low carb choices, I still had 3 meals and snacks.

We know you are doing all you can Michael, wish I could offer some advice but I can’t. Sounds like you did have a carb fest. Take good care of yourself xx
PS I have a hammer and chisel if that’s any good lol

Sorry to hear you are still suffering so much Hazel. I agree about the Tramadol, it does help the pain but it used to knock me out too. Hope your CT goes well. Take care. Sue x
